Gerry Ryan - Hypocrite



You want to know who really grinds my gears?
Gerry Ryan.
I am throwing this out there, but I think, the man is a hypocrite, pure and simple. Look up the word hypocrite in a dictionary and it says this;

1: “a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.”

2: “a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.”

3: Gerry Ryan

Now looking back at the first definition, here we have Gerry, the common man, the man of the people, the man who wants to take all the viciousness out of society and replace it all with good will, a man who tries to portray himself as a radio God, a saviour to his listeners when in fact, he is the biggest caricature I have ever seen.

If people ring him up with problems, he pretends to the ever caring ear, listening to the voice of the suppressed, but seriously, I mean, come on.
He sits there, probably in a luxurious office chair that cost a week's wages of an average man, pretending he has all the answers to life, when in reality he doesn't give a toss, because when his three hours are up, it's home time.

If he is the voice of the common man and the voice of reason to the people of Ireland, then we're all screwed.

Definition number 2: Isn't Mr Ryan one of last presenters to voluntarily take this pay cut. The man makes €600,000 a year and thinks he is worth it. I've never heard the likes of it. The man stands on TV on a Thursday night, expressing disappointment and lambasting people on Operation Transformation for not losing weight when in fact, he could be doing with losing a few pounds.

He does not want to have his salary cut, so instead of doing what most of the other presenters are doing, he would rather keep his salary rather than see a junior level camera man be sacked. Nice bloke and when that camera man rings into his show to complain, I am sure Gerry will have a sympathetic ear. Hypocrite.
